We had a family get together to celebrate my 75th birthday.
The Red House accommated eight of us very comfortably. A lounge big enough to seat us all together as well as a games room.
We all enjoyed a walk along the sea front at Scarborough and a delicious ice cream.
We all would recommend a stay at the Red House and hopefully enjoy the house as much as we did.
There were a few very thoughtful surprises awaiting us on arrival.
Thank you Jenny.

Fantastic we had a lovely time. It rained on our second day so we made the most of the house playing games with the kids in front of the fire. The views are beautiful and the house feels happy. I wanted to stay forever.

Absolutely would love to return to this beautiful house. Started with an amazing welcome pack, tour off the lovely Jenny and ended with a week of great memories. So much to do in the house we barely left! Kids loved building dens in the woods and starting the log burning fires. Games room was well used, especially the piano, as was the trampoline. DVD, CD and book collection were all great bonuses. Everything is high spec, beds are really comfortable and fantastic added bonus of lovely towels and big utility room full of toys and washer and dryer so I’ve returned for the first time from a holiday with no washing! Attention to detail is excellent, it sleeps 10 but the downstairs feels like 20 could easily fit in as there’s plenty of space to spread out. Thanks for a wonderful week Jenny!

Response on behalf of the Owner; Thank you - it was an absolute pleasure to have your lovely family stay at Red House.

The house itself is fantastic but the garden lets it down in my opinion, although it is fully enclosed there is a really steep slope/drop within the grounds which is only partially fenced off, this part of the garden is really overgrown and full of brambles. Luckily we had a few large dog crates with us that we had to make a barrier with, we had to do this whenever the dogs were in the garden. If this had been highlighted in the description of the house I would not have booked it.
I also thought it was unfair of the owner to come back mid week to pot her plants! We have holidayed several times a year for the past 15 years and have never had this happen before. The last thing you want is the owner dropping in. This alone would also stop us holidaying here again.

Response from:

Response on behalf of the Owner; So sorry you thought I had dropped in, in fact, I received a text from a member of your party about all the breakages at the weekend and we arranged for me to clear up the broken garden pot and transfer the plants on Tuesday while you were all at the beach. Was this not mentioned? We do have blackberries and raspberries in the orchard on the bank; the path is kept clear, I am sorry if your golden retrievers struggled. We did let you drop off your two trailers at noon on changeover day, let you in early as it was raining, and stored your trailers on the final day until 3pm, we had no idea about these issues and a member of the party text to say you were all having a fantastic time.

Just the most perfect holiday venue - everything you could wish for. Fabulous garden with stunning views of Scarborough. Great games room for the kids and big enough for a large family to each have their own space - my favourite was the conservatory.

Response from:

Response on behalf of the Owner; Thank you. So glad your special party went well, it was lovely to see the Australian flag flying over Scarborough. I love the conservatory too, keeping my eyes open for more vintage flower pictures.

The Red House was just what we wanted for a short birthday break. Every appliance was available and enough equipment to feed an army. The welcome gift was a nice surprise. The view was stunning.
We would certainly book again if a suitable occasion arises.
